If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to support that child’s parent
-Ann Douglas

Welcome
Karina and Caroline
We are Certified Parent Coaches with Masters Degrees from Columbia University and years of experience working with families and raising our own children. We’ve come together to be a part of your village. We don’t provide one-size-fits-all solutions, we help you to find your own way, moving you closer to being the parent that you aspire to be.
A parent coach is a certified professional that can help you address a wide array of challenges. A parent coach is like having a navigator in the passenger seat next to you while you are driving. They help you find a way forward to address whatever you may be struggling with in your parenting. They help you to clarify your parent values and priorities and get clear on the outcome that you want to achieve. They offer guidance that is research-based and action oriented to address your family’s unique challenges and dynamic. The result is calmer and more confident parenting.

Our Story
KC Parent Coaching began out of a shared commitment to serve parents. We met as professionals during a parent coaching certification and had an instantaneous connection. We hold Masters degrees from Columbia University and shared stories of facilitating parent groups and working for many years with students in the NYC independent schools. Inspired by our shared belief that one of the best ways to help children was to support their parents, we shifted our focus to working with parents upon having children of our own. Now that we each have adult children we dedicate our time to KC Parent Coaching and look forward to collaborating with you.

Our Mission
We are dedicated to helping parents find tailored solutions for their unique situations. Our mission at KC Parent Coaching is to empower parents to navigate the complexities of modern parenting and flourish despite the intricate challenges that often leave them overwhelmed and depleted. Motivated by the recognition that parents know what they want for themselves and their children, we strive to equip parents with the knowledge and tools needed to expand their capacity for meaningful change.

Our Model
We specialize in using a coach approach that is rooted in child development and evidence based best practices. We guide parents tapping into strengths on a path towards positive change. We work with parents to increase their self-awareness and deepen their understanding of their children. This process fosters stronger connections, develops effective communication skills, and builds greater confidence in parenting. When you work with KC Parent Coaching you will work individually with your own parent coach and get the added perspective from collaboration between sessions.
